Manufacture of Buddhist Images.


A recent book on Siam contains a de-
scription of the way in which sacred
images are made for the Buddhists. In
making the larger idols, those varying
from one to eight feet in height and usu-
ally in a sitting posture, they first makea
model of the figure in wax. Into this
model they stick small nails a few inches
apart and projecting slightly. Then the
image is covered with a coating Of fine
sand mixed with clay sufficiently wet to
be easily nodded. The projecting nails
serve tc prevent the coating from falling
OIL before it becomes hard. After il has
been dried in the sun the idol is put into
q furnace and burned. when the way
melts, and, running out, is collected for
use another time. Melted brass is then
poured over the image and evenly
spread until the whole surface is covered
with a thin coat of the metal. A smooth
ing and polishing process finishes the
work, and the respondent image is ready
for the alteration of the multitude. The
small silver idols are made in a different
way. The maker has q hard wood
model called a type. He takes common
coin silver. beats il out into a thin sheet,
and covers the model, pressing it close in
every part until it assumes the exact
shape desired. 1t is largest at the lower
end, which is left open that the model
may be drawn out. Melted pitch is
poured into the hollow shell of silver leaf
and then the idol is polished, usually
with fine sand.-New York Times.

"IF WE can can believe the state
ments Of the railroad msgnates of
Montana. and they are thoroughly re-
liable gentlemen" says the Rocky
Mountain Husbsndmsn, "the coming
summer will be the brightest the ter
ritory has known since the good old
days when our people dug gold from
placer mines and got from one to five
dollars to the pan when on the pay
streak. The expenditure Of SO, 0O0, 900

by the Manitoba and Montana Central
In railroad construction ought 10 make
times lively, and it will. There will
be q home demand for everything
grown in the way Of farm produce and
a considerable livening up Of the live
stock trade. To start out with there
will be an especial demand i'm the
early spring for draft horses, and while
we would admonish our farmers TO he.
stir themselves In order that they may
ger the cream Of the impending boom,
may till every cre the coming sum-
nier they possibly can and prepare for
market every available product upon
their farms, We would call their atten-
ton directly to the inevitable demand
for draft horses. Horse growers should
take time by the forelock this winter
and break all of their 4 and 5~-year-old
geldings 10 work in harness, and we
will guarantee good prices 10 the early
spring. The breaking Of dirt in rail-
way building will commence anyhow
as early as May, and IL will require a
vast number of horses to do the con.
templated work; more than the terri
tory has at present and prices will. in
consequence, be good. We have often
called upon our farmers and horse
growers to break their geldings to
work gently and pull before at
tempting TO market them and we
would say In this con nection II is use.
less to hope to market to advantage in
the demand so soon to develop any but
this class of horses. Now 10 the time
to rustic around and prepare to meet
the good times coming and make the
most Of the opportunities that offer.n

A curious custom Of the natives Of

Of Singapore. 1t is said hat whenever

fuel for cooking. They keep in the fire
thus made for years, and whenever il
goes out through neglect or for any other
reason, they never kindle it anew from
matches, but they get a light from their
nearest neighbors, whose fire was orig.
inally obtained from the volcano. The
fires in use up to the late outburst in the
native cooking places were all obtained
from the Bromo eruption of 1892

Example Of Indian Stoicism.

The common practice among the In
dams of ~concealing even the strongest
feelings by q show of Indifference is
familiar to all readers. This trait of
their character appears in a strong light
in this ~anecdote, which is told Of a sqlaw
who had just been bereaved Of her hus-
band. He had brought her down TO the
coast of Labrador from far in the in
terror, and the change in climate had
shortly proved fatal to the husband. The
incident Is told by a native trapper, and
shows genuine human feeling:
swell, sir, two days after that poor
fellow was buried / was away in the
woods on the other side Of the bay. i
walked to the beach and saw a canoe
lying there. l knew it belonged TO APP
ple-muskis' wife, so I went into the woods
and listened, thinking ] heard her
coming through the bush. i crept near
70 look. She was sitting crouched up on
a fallen tree; her head was bent down to
her knees.
.'She was crying out SOM words in
Nasluapee, which. though very like
Montagnais, I can't always understand.
At last | caught her saying several lines
To die so far, far. far from honIe!' l
knew then what she WAS soLbing about,
and crept back to the beach.
when l got there | fired oil my gun.
In two minutes the sIuaw came fromthc
woods. chewing a bit Of gum, but to
look at her you wouldn't have thought
she'd n care on her mind. Iglnced at

had brushed off her tears; but she
chcwed away at her bit of gum as il
nothing was the matter with her.

The Salt Lake Tribune, which al
ways has something favorable TO say
about Montana, makes the following
reference to our admission as a state of
the Union: ''The population has so
greatly increased, that now the terri.
tory, with treasures Of gold and silver,
and countless herds as an Offering,
stands knocking at the front door of
the Union, demanding admittance in
10 the family of states. The request
should not be refused for a single day.
The population, the wealth, aud the
resources Of Montana are most ample
to justify the demand. The people
are not only worthy TO receive the
boon. but from the very nature of
things, from their position, their oc.
cupation, the climate they live In and
the altitude OF their territory. they al
ways will be worthy.

The farmers home is, much Of the
time. in the field and out about the
premises or ofr to the market place, and
hence he suffers from no confinement
under bad cVnditions. Even if his nights
under the roof are not exactly Of the
best, owing 10 being confined in close
quarters or from bad air arising from I'M
der or within the house. his day outdoors
dissipates much OF evil that comes TO him
in the night time and he may not be ma
terially harmed. But with the wife the
case is quite different. The house is her
field, and she cannot, il she would. escape
from any damaging influences that exist
under the roof. The plan for such farm
buildings as are 10 lie erected the coming
year should lie very carefully considered
during the winter, and Tot only the plans,
but the l~cation, as to drainage and dis
lance from any point or points upon the
farm whence malaria may arise. As is
well known, the prevailing winds are
from the west and southwest: and, per-
haps, the most unusual Of all are from
the northeast. Hence, the question of
location is important. IL there is any
especially damaging spot on or neal the
farm, and should be considered and acted
upon.
Careful researches by Bowditch. Petens.
kofer and others have quite closely con-
nected the prevalence OF consumption and
certain low forms Of fever with the ap-
proach Of the water line or its neaness
to the surface. Standing water at a less
distance than six TO seven feet should
warn against building upon such a site.
At any rate this should not lie done un.
less thorough drainage could he practiced
upon the deep soil. Living close upon
the borders OF a body Of water. lie IL
stream or lake, is not necessarily preju.
dicial 30 health. yet there is something
particularly damaging in the influence
exerted by confined moisture beneath q
dwelling or in the soil upon which a
building is placed. Therefore, the con-
ditions here briefly pointed out cannot be
safely overlooked. Live Stock Journal.

From time immemorial the inhabitants
OF the Celestial empire have used the giz-
zard Of chickens and ducks in nearly all
made dishes. The writers have recon-
mended the practice as a sovereign treat
ment Of dyspepsia, weak stomach and
vomiting. A favorite prescription Of
Chinese physicians for chronic indigestion
is 10 cut up and digest chicken gizzards
in hot water until they are reduced TO a
pulp, and then add some spices. A table
spoonful or two Of the resulting paste Is
taken ut each meal until the patient has
entirely recovered. From China the
practice passed to other parts Of Asia. and
was adopted here and there among the
Mediterranean people. Strange TO say 1t
was never learned by the great nations Of
Europe until the latter part Of the present
century. American Analyst.
